Eat Pray Love

A beautiful new limited edition paperback of Eat Pray Love, published as part of the Bloomsbury Modern Classics list.

Eat Pray Love presents the transformative journey of Elizabeth Gilbert as she embarks on a year-long quest for self-discovery following a painful divorce and a failed relationship. In an attempt to find solace, happiness, and meaning, Elizabeth decides to travel to three distinct countries, each offering different experiences that contribute to her quest for pleasure, spirituality, and balance.

In bustling Rome, Elizabeth immerses herself in the culture of indulgence and gastronomic delight. She savours delectable Italian cuisine, learns the beautiful nuances of the Italian language from charming locals, and embraces the simple joys of living in the moment. Her journey of pleasure includes gaining twenty-five pounds and forming new friendships that teach her the art of enjoyment and relaxation.

From Italy, she travels to an austere ashram in India. Here, amidst early morning meditation sessions and the ritual of scrubbing temple floors, Elizabeth embarks on a deeply spiritual journey. She grapples with her innermost thoughts and emotions, seeking enlightenment and inner peace through devotion and disciplined spiritual practice. This segment of her journey challenges her to confront and reconcile her innermost turmoil.

Elizabeth’s quest culminates on the picturesque island of Bali, where she seeks balance and harmony. Guided by a poignant encounter with a toothless medicine man, she learns about a new path to peace through simply sitting still and smiling. The wisdom and tranquility she gains in Bali help her to rediscover her sense of self and achieve a state of contentment and balance.

Eat Pray Love is a captivating memoir that resonates with anyone who has ever questioned their path in life and sought a deeper understanding of what truly brings happiness. Elizabeth Gilbert’s honest, witty, and insightful narrative beckons readers to join her on an unforgettable journey of self-discovery, inspiration, and personal growth.
